Navigate to https://developer.apple.com/account#MembershipDetailsCard and locate the Entity Name and Team ID.
Apple has changed the rules for Individual Accounts, and they can no longer give access to the Certificates & Provisioning Profiles to other Admin accounts. This is necessary for us to submit your applications. Therefore, you need to create an organization account.Provide the Information to our Development Team

1. Enable the Submit App.
2. Paste your Team ID.
3. Add your Team’s name.
4. The App-Specific Shared Secret will be added by our team.
5. Choose the Store’s language.
Note: You can choose only one language. Thus, you should opt for your local language or English to reach a wider audience. However, if your school is translated into your local language instead of English, it would be better to choose your target market’s language instead, as your courses will appeal to them only.
6. Set the Copyright holder. As your new application is 100% white-labeled, you should add your firm name in this field. If you don’t have a company name, you can proceed with adding your full name as the copyright holder of your application.
7. Choose your application’s Primary Category. You can choose your application's primary category here; however, you should make sure to abide by the App Store’s rules.

You can choose the translations of your application’s listing in different languages. These translations will apply if the user’s store language is different from your default one. You will need to fill in the necessary fields at least for your store’s language and for any additional languages that you wish these details to be translated to. For languages that you have not provided translations for, your default store language properties will apply.
For every language, you can have different privacy, support, marketing, and promotional URLs or, if you do not have a translated version of them, including your regular ones.
Notes:
- On the Name field, you will need to add a title similar to your LearnWorlds school name. You can check whether your chosen name is available here: https://www.namecheck.com/en/mobile-apps/
- In the Mobile app full description field, it is very important to be as thorough as possible in describing your school's mobile app and main features.
